This Season

Hi there stampers,

Even though Halloween is tomorrow, many of us have started thinking about Christmas. I pulled out the wonderful Winter Woods set to create this card for you today.

To create my card, I stamped the tree in Shaded Spruce on a piece of Whisper White card stock. Then I dabbed Frost White Shimmer Paint on my tree. The greeting is stamped in Crumb Cake and the tree is backed by a piece of Champagne Foil. The Designer Series Paper used for this card is from Under the Mistletoe.

To create this card yourself, here are the products you will need. Click on any image to go to my online store to purchase.

Peaceful Place

Hi there stampers,

Are you like me and have many unfinished projects taking up space in your craft room? I'm sure I'm not alone! I've had this unfinished card front sitting on my desk for a couple of months. I liked it, but wasn't sure what I wanted to do with it.

The unfinished card front was the stamped image from Peaceful Place heat embossed in copper. So, I sponged the edges in Soft Suede and then very lightly colored the image with Watercolor Pencils and a Blender Pen. I wanted just a very light hint of color. Next, I added a small banner with the greeting stamped in Soft Suede. I adhered my card front on a piece of Early Espresso card stock that I embossed with the Corrugated Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. Finally, I added a button tied with Linen Thread and 2 pieces of Joyous Noel Glimmer Paper punched with the Sprig Punch.

I hope you get a sense of peace when you view my card.

Wonderful Friend

Hi there, Stampers!

I made the card I'm sharing with you a couple of weeks ago. I'm not sure why I didn't share it previously, but it seems like today it a good day. I love the sense of peace and tranquility conveyed by this card. I used a lot of sponging to create the depth of the colors.
